A review of Nix/NixOS after using it on all my machines for three years. I'll cover what works, what doesn't, and why it's the first OS that's stuck with me.
Nix has more up to date packages than most distros have packages in total. There’s a bot that goes around updating them automatically if they are from github. Maybe there’s an issue with your package?
I think I might have been misusing the term “outdated”, the packages are a few versions behind but they do work. I haven’t run into packages that didn’t work except because of path issues (fixed by using steam-run).
